I'm drawing manga in Naruto

"You went into the crowd, you're cheating!"

Uchiha Kawaki said angrily.

"Ha ha……"

Akabane sneered, completely ignoring him.

"Stop, you..."

Kawaki got up to argue, but was immediately interrupted by Sarutobi Nenichi.

"Do you understand what a comprehensive exam is? Shadow clones, substitution jutsu, and infiltration through transformation are all allowed, but I've said before that deadly ninjutsu is prohibited. Did you all ignore me?"

The conversation left the Uchiha clan members speechless.

The teacher definitely didn't say we couldn't enter crowds, and the Uchiha clan members didn't even realize that Akabane used the Shadow Clone Technique, so they had nothing to say about that.

"Forget it, there's no need to explain to idiots."

Akabane wiped the contents off the drawing paper, and soon Uchiha Ryo woke up.

"Hahahaha, I won!"

Uchiha Ryo's mouth was scorched by flames, but he was still laughing when he woke up.

In his eyes, he had defeated Akabane with his Fireball Jutsu, but he soon realized something was wrong; everyone's eyes... seemed to be looking at an idiot.

"Win? Sorry, you've already lost. Also, you used the Great Fireball Technique, so you'll be expelled from school for a year as punishment."

Sarutobi Nenichi's expression was very unpleasant. Although Akabane was not dead, Uchiha Ryo had still violated the rules by using the highly lethal and dangerous ninjutsu, the Great Fireball Technique, during the comprehensive exam.

"What? I lost?"

Uchiha Ryo's primary concern wasn't repeating a grade, but rather that he had lost.

"Brother, you've already lost because you've fallen under the illusion."

Kawaki felt ashamed for him; he didn't even know how he lost, and still thought he had won.

But upon closer reflection, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for the even more humiliating Uchiha Rin, he would definitely have been scolded by the clan head and elders when he returned to the clan. Now, at least there's someone else to take the fall for.

Chapter 10 Living a Healthy Life

"I've been under an illusion..."

Uchiha Ryo's expression was blank, and he couldn't react for a long time.

"Wow, this kid's going to be demoted a level if he loses."

Seeing him get his comeuppance made Jiraiya the happiest of all.

"Small idea."

Akabane stretched, then looked around the area. "You haven't started yet?"

"I'm in group thirteen..."

"Hey, don't go! Aren't you going to wait for me?!"

Jiraiya had just finished answering when he noticed that Akabane, Tsunade, and Orochimaru had all left. Akabane wanted to go back to sleep, while Tsunade and Orochimaru were simply bored.

After taking a few steps, Orochimaru approached Akabane and whispered, "Be careful of the Uchiha."

The Kurama clan's bloodline limit is said to be a genjutsu that even the Uchiha clan cannot counter. Over time, the two clans have developed deep resentment towards each other. They are not exactly enemies, but they certainly dislike each other.

Now that Uchiha Kagami has died in battle, the Uchiha clan is without a leader, and their style of doing things is gradually changing.

Orochimaru was worried that if Akabane defeated Uchiha Ryo today, people within the Uchiha clan might have other ideas.

“I have a family behind me. A small competition wouldn’t warrant them doing this.”

Akabane answered while glancing at Orochimaru.

The saddle horse clan still has some influence now, but in ten or twenty years, they might really be trampled on again.

As for Orochimaru, with the Third Hokage, who values ​​talent, protecting him, the Uchiha clan probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

"What are you worrying about? Do you think the Uchiha clan would dare to cause trouble now?"

Tsunade curled her lip, her expression a mixture of disdain and sadness. Nowadays, even the Senju clan is slowly diminishing its influence, and any Uchiha with a brain wouldn't pick a fight at this critical juncture.

Back in the classroom, Orochimaru pulled out a book, and Akabane lay down to sleep, but before his head could even touch his arm, Tsunade grabbed his chin with her hand: "Everyone will be graduating and grouping in a few days. If you don't start drawing now, when will you have time later?"

Akabane looked completely bewildered and turned to look at Tsunade, who then looked back at him, and the two stared at each other.

What are you guys doing?

Orochimaru was incredibly curious; he was just a child and didn't understand anything about men and women...

"I need to sleep, sis. I stayed up all night last night."

Akabane felt helpless, his feelings were very complicated.

This feeling is similar to that of online novel authors in his past life being urged to update their work. Although Chi Yu has never written online novels, he can understand their helpless feelings at this moment - it is clearly the best time to be a slacker, so why are people urging him to update!

"Are you going to write it or not!"

With a roar, Akabane and Orochimaru instantly regained their senses.

"Okay, okay, I'll draw it."

Akabane reluctantly raised his head, set up his easel, and began preparing.

The desk he's using now was just moved from the warehouse by the teacher yesterday. If he angers Tsunade, this desk might have to be destroyed.

but……

After preparing the tools, Akabane quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the Shadow Clone Technique in the blink of an eye.

"give it to you."

After saying that, he got up and moved to another spot.

"Shadow clone?"

Orochimaru and Tsunade both exclaimed in surprise.

Then they saw Akabane's shadow clone holding a brush and paint, quickly sketching on the paper.

"Wow... Shadow clones have such uses. The world of ninjutsu is truly vast and boundless."

Orochimaru was genuinely impressed and felt that the knowledge of ninjutsu had endless uses.

Tsunade was equally stunned. She naturally didn't know Shadow Clone Jutsu, which was a B-rank ninjutsu, but this ninjutsu was created by the Second Hokage. As the princess of the Senju clan, she had naturally heard Tobirama Senju explain the principles and effects of this ninjutsu.

Its original purpose was battlefield espionage and reconnaissance, but it did not have the function of replacing the original painting.

In addition, she noticed that the clone was drawing faster than the original!

"This means... Akabane is always slacking off!"

Tsunade was secretly annoyed, but she couldn't find anything wrong with it.

She drew her sketches at lightning speed. At first, she wasn't used to Akabane's diligence, but she gradually became numb to it. She figured it was okay to slack off; she had her own comics to read anyway...

"Creating and developing new ninjutsu functions just to be lazy, Akabane-kun is quite an interesting person, isn't he?"

While reading, Orochimaru smiled and offered some words of comfort.

"Thank you, this is the first time I've received a compliment from you."

Akabane lay on the table, answering with his eyes closed.

Orochimaru had not yet become Hiruzen Sarutobi's apprentice, but he had a rather aloof personality and rarely spoke or interacted with others, spending most of his time reading.

In fact, before Akabane transmigrated and started making manga, he had never spoken a word to Orochimaru. But even though Orochimaru's IQ was much higher than others, he still couldn't escape the poison of manga.

"My classmate from my past life, I'm doing very well in this other world. The Sannin and White Fang are both my manga fans..."

Akabane closed his eyes to rest, sighing inwardly.

If my classmates who aspire to become comic artists knew this, they would probably be insanely jealous. Unfortunately, I can't share this feeling with anyone right now.

Tsunade propped her head up, watching her clone draw comics over there.

The clones were much faster than the original, and the live-streamed comics provided a significantly better experience, allowing Tsunade to gradually appreciate the charm of watching a live drawing session.

However, after drawing a few pages, a considerable commotion gradually came from outside the door. Akabane immediately got up and dispelled the shadow clone. He didn't want too many people to know about the use of shadow clones.

"It's probably Shikame. The Nara family are all quite..."

Tsunade stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, seemingly unsure of how to describe them.

Akabane, without realizing it, continued, "After all, those who raise deer live a very healthy life, just like me."

Health preservation?

In an instant, Orochimaru, along with the newly returned Sakumo and Akimichi, fell silent—only he could describe laziness in such a unique way.

Even Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed; he wasn't exactly a health-conscious person.

The Nara clan is not large, but it is considered quite prominent in Konoha, with many Jonin and Chunin among its members.

He was originally considered to be intelligent and had the potential to take on the future of the family, but he was gradually abandoned because he was too lazy. So he was just lazy, not someone who was trying to maintain his health.

"By the way, Shikamaru, I remember your family owns a small house in Konoha, right?"

Akabane was organizing the drawings that his clone had just finished when he suddenly remembered that there was a small house not far from their clan's territory, which seemed to belong to the Shikame family.

Nara Shikamei sat there thinking for a long time before asking, "Is it that small shop near your place?"

"Yes, that's the one."

In order to earn more points, Akabane had the idea of ​​opening a shop. He would pass by that shop every day after school, so when he was looking to buy a shop, the first one that came to mind was the one next door.

"Ah, that set used to be close to the forest, so it was used to sell medicine, but it was too small and is now unused."

Lu Ming said listlessly.

He had just fought a battle with Akimichi Ichijō of the Akimichi clan, which was quite exhausting compared to his usual condition.

"Hmm...would you sell it?"

"Um, I don't know what you're going to do with it, but I can ask around for you."

Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not agree immediately.

Chapter 11 Kakashi, Son of the White Fang

"Okay, you can ask for me."

Akabane didn't expect him to agree immediately, since he didn't have any money and needed to go back and inform his clan.

But money is never a problem.

The saddle horse clan is now depleted of talent, but it has not yet reached the point of having to live frugally.

On the contrary, because there are more and more ordinary people, and the war has ended, the five great powers are temporarily at peace, so the Kurama clan is actually richer than before.

As the number one genius among his peers, Akabane believed that such a small request as buying a shop was not excessive at all.

"Akabane-kun is buying a shop to sell comics?"

Orochimaru put down the book in his hand and asked curiously.

"That's right, a successful cartoonist must have their own studio and shop."

Akabane casually made up a story.

What a successful cartoonist! He's just trying to earn more points.

However, no one doubted it, because children's minds are indeed so simple, even in the ninja world.

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, looking lost, having lost all interest in arguing with Akabane.

Akabane noticed her expression and guessed what was going on, so he said to comfort her, "My goal is to become a manga artist, and maybe you will find your own goal in the future."

He knew the future and was very clear about how Tsunade would develop in the future. After becoming a ninja, she created medical ninjutsu and later ascended to the throne of the Fifth Hokage.

Orochimaru opened his mouth, slightly surprised. Akabane, who was comforting people... was truly rare.

Tsunade was equally surprised, but quickly recovered and smiled, saying, "Of course, my goal is to become the Fourth Hokage and inherit the Will of Fire from my grandfather and the others."
